As a wedding blessing a monk wrote these lines for the married couple: "Father dies, son dies, grandson dies."
The couple became upset when the saw the monk's work. "Instead of a blessing why do you give me something depressing like this?"
"If your son should die before you," the monk answered, "this would bring unbearable grief to your family. If your grandson should die before your son, this also would bring great sorrow. If your family, generation after generation, disappears in the order I have described, it will be the natural course of life. This is true happiness and prosperity."
Was that a hint to tell us you are getting married Cleg?? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
